SATURDAY, SEPT. 9 Daily, for several weeks this journal has shown that reciprocity is vitally necessary to build up Prince Rupert and develop Northern British Columbia. Uipon those grounds it has consistently urged the electors to elect the Government candidate, Mr. Duncan Ross, to be its next member. ‘ In addition to the long list of incontrovertible economic arguments in favor of reciprocity there are strong personal arguments, which must be considered. These, Mr. Ross by the usage of good taste would be precluded from discussing. But they rank among the most important reasons why Mr. Ross must be elected if the district is to progress. It is conceded on every hand that the Laurier Government is going to be returned. The very best that the most sanguine Conservative forecasts give is: Con. British..Columbia, <0... 55... 63.

Even the 20 seats given to the Conservatives in Quebec are for the most part Nationalist, and on reciprocity several of Bourassa’s candidates are taking ground for the agreement and will vote for it if elected.

It may very well be close upon 60. Many Liberals ir touch with the Ontario campaign say that the iwo parties will divide the Province: 43 to 43. Quebec Liberals do not conceded a net gain of seven to the Nationalist-Conservative combination. In Nova Scotia a total of 15 Liberals to three Conservatives would be ro surprise. New Brunswick once returned a solid Liberal delegation ard may do so again. Alberta and Saskaichewan are almost certzir to be solidly Liberal, while in our own Province, it is quite possible that four Liberals will go in. 5 1 1 7 18 4 3 There is no constituency in the whole of Carade. that requires more from the next Government than does Comox-Ailin. Comox- Atlin is an undeveloped territory over a thousard miles lorg, ard two hundred miles wide. It hes seven thousand miles of coast line. lis needs are very great. Governments being composed of men are only human. Whaei chance for special favors whould Comox-Ailin have, if, when the Laurier Government is returned in triumph by a contented courtry, Comox-Atlin were io select a carpet-bagger like Herbert S. Clements of 535 Pender St. West, Vancouver, and send him to Ottewa as its representative. There is no part of Comox-Atlin that will reed favors from the Government so much as Prince Rupert will for the next two or three years. A week ago today, the people of Prince Rupert consented to assume most of the taxation for the Grand Trunk Pacific for the next ten years, on condition that the railway would start work on 2 roundhouse, an engine shop, a depot, and an hotel. (The dry dock had already been arranged for by the Dominion Governmert which had guaranteed a $2,000,000 subsidy for twenty years). A city so much in need of public works cannot afford to take chances on sending the Varcouver candidate to present its needs before the Governmert. Yesterday, notice was given that the customs house ard post office must be removed from the Grand Trunk reserve to make room for improvements. This makes it a timely occasion on the re-opening ef Parliament to requesi the Dominion Government to erect 2. per- manent stone or concrete post office and a permanent customs house, and Government Building. In addition to the work at the Marine Depot and Quarantine Station at Digby Island, the Government is contemplating the building of a large wharf at Digby. The plans were in the city yesterday, and cell for a 500 foot wharf with two approeches, one 910 feet long and the other 710 feet long. There are other works in contempletion too, ARK’S | CLOSING JEWELRY i Our large and expensive stock is going and going fast.
